#JusticeForJohnnyDepp Trends Again as New Video Evidence Emerges. Actor Johnny Depp has shared that recently released LAPD bodycam footage proves Amber Heard has lied about the allegations of violence and abuse against him, causing the hashtag #JusticeForJohnnyDepp to trend online once again. Johnny’s lawyer, Adam Waldman shared with DailyMail, “Amber Heard and her friends described a chaotic, messy crime scene but the newly released LAPD bodycam videos unambiguously show that the penthouse was utterly undamaged and that their testimony was one more grandiose lie.”

The bodycam footage was shared via the DailyMail and was shared publicly on Twitter and clearly featured a clean penthouse at least through the main entrance, kitchen, and living room. Check out both videos of Depp and Heard’s penthouse visit below:

Though there is no doubting the relationship and marriage was not a good one for either Depp or Heard the damage has been done and Depp is finding it hard to find work amongst the rumors and allegations with the verdict in his case against The Sun. So far the verdict from the UK courts has cost Johnny Depp his role as Grindelwald in the Fantastic Beasts franchise for Warner Bros. and his iconic role as Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbeanfranchise, which is currently set to film a reboot film starring Margot Robbie.

Though Disney has defended Depp in court, the company is now reconsidering their decision to step away from the famed actor, that has not deterred Johnny’s legal team from pursuing an appeal in the libel case, which unfortunately for Depp was overturned and denied. Disney has not made a formal statement regarding the choice to bring Depp, who is a Disney Legend, back into the fold.

Universal Orlando announced that the new Jurassic World VelociCoaster was opening June 10th. This is said to be the most themed coaster at Universal. After riding Hagrid’s I’m excited to see how they top that. Along with the new ride comes new Team Member uniforms. The brand new uniforms were seen out yesterday.

Orlando Informer posted the new Team Member uniforms to their Twitter. This is also the first facemask designed specifically for a ride. If you’re a Jurassic World fan you’ll notice the uniforms resemble those seen in the movie franchise. I found this movie still for reference. They really do think of everything.

Pinocchio Stitch Crashes Disney Collection

The April Stitch Crashes Disney collection may have been delayed, but the collection for May has been sneak peeked! The Pinocchio Stitch Crashes Disney Collection plush and pin have been revealed, and they are just so cute! The May collection does not have an official release date yet, but we’re very excited for this one.

I think this is the cutest one yet! Stitch looks like he is crafted from wood, with a beautiful wood grain print all over. Embroidered details of pixie dust, and Jiminy Cricket accent the wood grain print with a subtle touch of color. Stitch is also topped off Pinocchio’s iconic feathered yellow hat! The hat is such a great recreation too.

While no official date has been revealed we can expect to see the Pinocchio Stitch Crashes Disney Collection in May. Look for it on shopDisney.com, Disney Parks, and Select Disney Store locations. Stay tuned for June’s collection featuring Aladdin!
